On the technical side, with a regular C-band LNB with LO=5150 MHz, the 4.5-4.8 band translate to 350-650 MHz, which is of course too low for regular satellite receivers. So I have hooked up an SDR dongle to be able to look at the spectrum. While most LNBs filter that band out, I have an old...

Antennaguy does a lot of hands-on reviews.

Oh. If there is an IP conflict. Somehow the explanation mentioning a reboot of the hopper string of WAP devices hints to. If the WAP and your wifi LAN are both on a 192.168.1.XXX network. And you can't change the WAP IP. My LAN router has the LAN IP set to 192.168.5.1 and the DHCP server IP Pool...

Was just trying to be helpful. Wondering if the problem could be caused by the long reply in the link. I am not qualified to offer suggestions on equipment I don't own nor have personal access with to do some tinkering. Would any other options in the post help? Such as to get the WAP device...

My bad.

2.4ghz connection will give higher signal strength vs 5ghz. Speed will be slower but still adequate for streaming. I believe. On your main router take a peek in the management web interface and check if you have a tx power setting. And hopefully both router and ap has external antennas. There...

I upgraded to the latest Fire TV cube. For the 8 bucks I found out that my first one got me when returned. Shoulda' kept it. The shield is an awesome streamer. Unless I guess it might be the 1g model with HDD. So, you tell me. I'm not into Apple's or Roku's "pocket" with the cube. Not locked...

My 2 cents. Good thing I'm not in Canada or it would cost ya' almost 3. A bit of confusion. I read 8 foot. And then 1.8 meters. An 8 footer would give a far better wow factor than a1.8 (close to 6 foot) dish. Way way back in the satguys archives there is a manual for a 1.8m Prodelin. "Ceramic"...

And look at the LP and resurrection in turntable interests. Let alone vintage audio and restorations. It's reported that many artists release first in vinyl before any other media. But they will always be records to me. And I loveeee my records! There's even a bit of open reel action...

It's a Nubie thread. And very surprising that seasoned dudes in this hobby still have the training wheels on. All it takes is a Crescent wrench. Anyways. Chinabox firmware based satellite receivers aside and concentrating on Enigma 2 Linux receivers. SInce day one. I could not imagine not using...

I would be very interested in the 8008 if it were the dual dvb tuner verson. But thinkin' I'll hold out for the next incantation that addresses low symbol rates as EB mentioned over on legit. Of course the average Joe should be concerned with anything that calls home in their Internet setup. Dig...

As mentioned. The deal would be at your local battery supply house. Not particularly any difference in APC vended and a Yuasa, etc. As long as you stay away from chinesium. I spoke with a rep from Schneider Electric in S. PA. some years ago when getting stuff together for a starter solar...

I would have tried to turn you towards an APC Back UPS Pro unit. Thing is. Those have a provision for an extended run time external battery. I just happened to have the proper connector for mine. A couple of local battery warehouse batteries and a plastic food container to keep them in. I can...

Interesting. I didn't know. Might be a consideration depending on your choice of a power station. View: https://youtu.be/hILFWqKE0tY?si=2uHwGW93Uqy5TJYm

A short search turns up the obvious. 4:2:2 is a standard used for distribution around broadcast centers. When I stream most satellite (C & Ku band) audio to my HT system. No Internet or SXM audio can compete. In the consumer TV world you might think you have the cat's-a** monster of them all...
